Stephen LoBianco enters his second season at the helm of the
Spartans after taking the reigns of the program in August of 2013.
LoBianco had served as a Spartan assistant three years prior to him
taking over the cross country and track & field programs.

LoBianco's 2010 inaugural season with the Spartan cross country
squad proved a tremendous one as he saw Mandy Parshall capture
York's first-ever individual conference championship in women's
cross country. Additionally, he helped the Green and White to a
pair of quality third-place team finishes at the annual Capital
Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships.

During year two, LoBianco helped mentor Tim Hartung and Steven
Childres, as they went 1-2 at the CAC Championships as the Spartans
earned their first ever Cross Country championship. Hartung
continued his great season with a ninth place finish at NCAA
regionals. LoBianco also helped guide Hartung to York’s first
ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Championships.

As year three progressed, LoBianco saw the Men’s Cross
Country team win its second straight CAC Championships, with
Hartung repeating as CAC individual champion. Hartung continued his
success at NCAA Regionals where he placed fifth while helping the
Men’s team to a program history high finish of
7th. LoBianco then helped coach Hartung to York’s
first ever NCAA Cross Country All-American, as Hartung finished
7th at NCAA Cross Country Nationals.

In his first year as head coach, LoBianco has continued the
success of the Cross Country program with many program firsts. For
the third straight year, the Men’s Cross Country team were
CAC Champions and Hartung captured his third straight individual
title. The team went on to tie the program’s highest NCAA
Regional finish with a 7th place finish, while for the
first time in program history two athletes earned All-Region
accolades. LoBianco was able to once again coach Hartung at
nationals, where for the second year in a row he was able to become
an NCAA Cross Country All-American with a 24th place
finish. On the women’s side there were many firsts as well.
LoBianco coached Caroline DeLany and Jess Miller, as they went 1-2
at the CAC championships for the first 1-2 finish in program
history. The success continued after the Women’s team placed
8th at NCAA Regionals as a team, the first top ten
finish in program history. LoBianco was able to see Miller receive
All-Region accolades and be York’s first female cross country
runner to compete at NCAA Cross Country Nationals.

As an undergrad at Shippensburg University, he was a four-year
varsity athlete in cross country and track & field. LoBianco is
a 2007 graduate of Shippensburg University with a BS in Business
Administration.

After college he continues to run and train for local road races
and track meets. He recently completed his first marathon in
2:35.05.
